The National Federation of the Blind understands how important it is for
teachers working in a low incidence field, like blindness, to find opportunities
to collaborate and network. In an effort to foster learning, interaction, and
community, the NFB is hosting the first-ever Teacher Leader Seminar! During
this three-day conference, teachers will have the opportunity to learn, grow,
and meet other professionals. This conference will include learning
sessions and Make and Takes, networking with other teachers and professionals,
and best practice and technology discussions. Teachers will have the
chance to influence the content of sessions and lead discussions.
Participants are strongly encouraged to take advantage of social media before,
during, and after this seminar to stay in contact with each other and teachers
in the field.<br>
<br>
